Where To Stay in Bali: The Chillhouse in Canggu
Here's the third part of my four part Bali series. I apologize that it took quite some time. I've been working on on my You...

Surf Theori is a hidden Gem in Liw-liwa
Planning to surf this summer? Skip La Union and Baler and visit Liw-liwa in Zambales instead. This surf town may be small but it has so much to offer. I felt like I was back in Bali when I arrived. Who would've thought I would find vegan burgers, cold brew and crystals here?
Accommodation
No matter what type of traveler you are, you'll find a place in Liw-Liwa. I stayed in Surf Theori with two of my girl friends-- Jessi and Trina. They have private rooms with your own bathroom which fits up to four pax and they also have huts that can fit up to three pax with a shared bathroom. There are also hostels nearby if you're a solo traveler/ backpacker.

| Nipa Rooms |
 |
| A Private Room has two Double Beds and Bathroom |
 |
| The beach is just a 5 minute walk from the resort |
 |
| I love how the resort has wall art painted by local artists |
Food
My favorite part of our trip to Liw-liwa was the food. There are around 10 restaurants in town (if i'm not mistaken) and each restaurant has its own specialty. I wasn't expecting much since usually whenever I go to the beach the food is just seafood but Liw-liwa's food was something else. They have vegan burgers, pizza rolls, an Ilocano restaurant that has authentic Vigan longganisa and more.
*Tip: Eat in the pasta bar. I can't remember the name of the restaurant but it's the best tuna pasta that I've had in my life.

 |
| Board Culture has the best milk shakes and pasta |

Date Night in Macau
When you think of Macau, the first thing that comes to mind is the Casino or Gambling. It wouldn't come across as a romantic destination but Jacob and I were able to find so many date spots that I'm sure you will enjoy as well. Read on to find out what they are.
1. Visit The Venetian
The Venetian is the largest casino in the world and the largest single structure hotel in Asia. It's impossible to miss because you can spot it from miles away with how huge it is. Aside from the casino, The Venetian has the best restaurants and shopping. My favorite is Lord Stow's Bakery for egg tarts and Jacob's favorite is for Glorious BBQ King for duck. You can also go for a romantic gondola ride.

The Best of Tokyo (Where to Eat + What to Do)
Jacob and I loved Tokyo so much that we both agreed that it was our favorite city in Asia. I wrote about the first time I went with my family three years ago here but it was a whole different experience coming back with Jacob. We really did our research prior to our trip because we wanted the best of what Tokyo had to offer. The main goal of our trip was to eat but we did do some tours on the side too. I have a new appreciation for Japanese food. It has always been my favorite cuisine since I was a kid but it tastes so much better in Japan. You don't have to go to the Michelin restaurants for a scrumptious meal, even just the restaurants in the subway station will blow you away. I listed down the restaurants we ate in below.

This is the first time I've eaten in a restaurant with no menu. It's served Omakase Style because the menu is decided by the chefs. The dishes are presented from the lightest to the heaviest. In Japanese, Omakase means "I'll leave it up to you."
